The Pacific Belles at the Queen Elizabeth Stage

On Friday morning June 9th I went to the Queen Elizabeth Park stage to see local group the Pacific Belles which was my 2nd time seeing them as I first also at Cooly ROcks On 2021 at the same place 2 years ago on Friday June 11th 2021. I walked to the Queen Elizabeth Park stage, saw Lorraine who I know from rockabilly and the show started at 9.30am which the Pacific Belles came on stage as they were on stage for an hour and 15 minutes doing the songs by the Andrews Sisters, Frank Sinatra, Amy Winehouse and Oasis which they did those songs so very well with their wonderful harmonies as well as dressed in the 40's era and was really enjoying themselves having an great time. the show finished at 10.45am and it was FANTASTIC with great singing by the ladies who do it so very well and the way they do the songs it is just brilliant. I look forward to seeing them live again and hope they do an show in Brisbane in the future as well as doing another Cooly Rocks On appearance. To those who have not seen them do yourselves an favour and SEE THEM which you will be amazed and impressed.
